Song # 1700.1 from Our Gospel In Song Collection by Col Johnston. Joel tells us in chapter 3 that the Lord will judge all the nations for their wickedness. But He will be a refuge for His people of Israel.
Let the nations be roused, let them advance into the Valley of Jehoshaphat, for there the Lord will sit to judge all the nations on every side (Joel 3:12). Swing the sickle, for the harvest is ripe. Come, trample the grapes, for the winepress is full and the vats overflow - so great is their wickedness (Joel 3:13). Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision. For the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision (Joel 3:14). The sun and moon will be darkened, and the stars no longer shine (Joel 3:15). The Lord will roar from Zion and thunder from Jerusalem. The earth and the sky will tremble. But the Lord will be a refuge for His people, a stronghold for the people of Israel (Joel 3:16).
Thought for today: no-one is more secure than those in God’s hands.
Thought for the future: trust in God today and prepare for your tomorrow. Where will you spend your eternity?
